I'm curious Are you also experiencing this issue? 🤔 I've been trying to verify my account through Persona and LinkedIn and this (the image attached) is the response I've been receiving. Am I getting it wrong? Or Nigeria has been restricted from the verification? (If so, then the list says otherwise, because Nigeria is still on the list of eligible countries in the list provided by LinkedIn and Persona). Dear verified Nigerians on LinkedIn, what document did you use for your verification? I guess there are a number of people having this issue. Please, share this, to help get it to whoever has a solution. #nigerians #linkedinsupport #trendingnow

Meet John Adebayo, a young man who defied societal norms by leaving his hometown after high school. Driven by big dreams and an unwavering commitment to ethical success, he set out for Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria. But he got more than he bargained for - Abuja was a sharp contrast to the familiar Oyo State, marked by a fast-paced life and higher living costs. Undeterred by the challenges, John embarked on a journey into the tech world. Lacking qualifications for high-paying jobs, he started as a cafe attendant, earning a meager ₦8,000. Simultaneously, he self-taught himself programming and networking skills. A year of relentless learning and relationship-building paved the way for a job at a law firm, where he earned his first five-figure salary in naira. However, economic challenges led him to explore more, diving into network security. Facing obstacles but refusing to quit, he ventured into software development, building skills in various programming languages. Challenges were amplified when internet access became a luxury. Still, John persisted. In 2013, a website development project marked a turning point. He left the law firm and joined a microfinance bank as an IT officer for exposure and experience. As a software developer, he overcame failures and built valuable connections at Global Sentinel. Together with others, they launched Wesabi, securing funding and incubation. His journey continued as he joined Nigerco Industries and later founded Scnip, a world-class tech company. John's inspiring journey is a testament to the power of determination, self-directed learning, and the pursuit of dreams, no matter where one starts in life.

Ghana has a special way of making its youth look lazy 😞 Poor internet connection coupled with unstable or irrational electricity power 💡(dumsor) supply is affecting productivity especially some of us working remotely in the Tech space, as juniors with little to no resources to facilitate such smooth work flow/equipments, the moment your CTO or team lead asks for updates on a task given you get scared cos you obviously haven’t had light(💡 power) the whole day or when the lights came for few hours the internet connection was poor such that you could barely complete your tasks given. Where have we gone wrong as a people? How then can we compete with our colleagues in different countries in the same Tech space with all these basic resources available to them? 🤔😎 #ghanadeservesbetter #youthintech
